Bio Char Production Demo

Price
$10/person

1 (2)

Come and learn more about soil health and composting with our vineyard manager, Andy Fles, and bio char expert, Paul May, as they show us the full demonstration of bio char production. From ignition, raking/smoldering, to extinguishing and harvesting the bio char, these guys are going to show you every step to do it yourself for your farm or garden!

what is biochar?
Biochar is a form of carbon-rich charcoal made from organic material (in our case, vineyard prunings), used as a soil amendment to boost compost and improve soil health. It helps retain nutrients and moisture, supports beneficial microbes, and can even help trap carbon in the soil.
 
Whether you're a backyard gardener, compost enthusiast, or a farmer looking to regenerate your soil—this demo is for all skill levels. If you use compost, you'll want to see how biochar can take your soil game to the next level.
 
Come get your hands dirty, learn something new, and take a step toward more sustainable growing practices.

2:00 PM - Fire igniting 

2:00 - 3:00 PM - Raking/Smoldering

3:00 PM - Main talk by Paul May
